2024 Coach of the Year
Latvian Cycling Federation, MTB and road.
What amateur athletes say
When we started more than ten years ago, climbing the stairs to the second floor was a serious physical challenge for me. Today I race in the world's biggest events and stand on the podium. Purposeful, systematic work, built on data, got me here.
Jānis and I have been working together for six years now. For more than 324 Mondays he has written out what needs to be done that week. The plan is always clear and doable. Jānis isn't a "let's go, come on!" kind of person :) but he always keeps the bigger picture in mind and puts overall health first, not chasing results at any cost.
From couch potato to almost 5 W/kg, coaching really works!
Let's talk about your goals.
Tell me where you are now and where you want to be.
My coaching philosophy
FTP and VO2max are useful data points — they are not the whole picture
My approach is built on one conviction: coaching must be holistic. Long-term performance comes from balancing science, health, recovery and mindset with the training itself, so every variable that affects performance belongs in the conversation.
Progress is never just about pushing harder.
-
Blood work
I read your blood test results next to your training data and use them when planning. Abnormal results always go to a sports doctor.
-
Supplementation
An individual supplement plan based on your blood work and your training, not a generic list.
Blood work and supplementation are part of Full-Service, and an extra on Core and Performance.
-
Strength and mobility
Standard strength, core and mobility blocks are part of every plan; Performance adds injury-prevention work.
Full-Service: strength work built from your physiology.
-
Athlete education
I explain why each block is in your plan and what your numbers mean, so you understand your training and make better decisions on your own.
The journey

01
"I didn't choose coaching. Coaching chose me."
A car crash. Then a skiing injury. Suddenly, the way I had trained and competed was no longer available to me — and something else took its place.
What started as a few Wednesday evening rides with local amateurs quickly became something far more purposeful. A conversation on a flight from Brussels to Malaga made it clear: I resigned from my CEO position the moment the plane landed and committed fully to coaching. It remains the best professional decision I have ever made.

"From Riga to the start lines of the world."
I grew up in Riga, Latvia. Today I coach from Costa Blanca, near Calpe — one of the great cycling environments in Europe.
My athletes range from Olympic and Paralympic competitors to dedicated amateur cyclists who want to train smarter and understand their potential. The discipline is irrelevant. What matters is the quality of the process.

"I was never the most talented. That was my advantage."
Because I wasn't naturally gifted, I had to find every possible edge. That search took me deep into data analysis, exercise physiology, training science, and performance diagnostics. I became genuinely obsessed with improvement.
That obsession led me to coach athletes at two Olympic Games (Beijing 2022 and Paris 2024) and the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, contributed to the development of national champions, and produced lasting results for endurance athletes worldwide. In 2024, the Latvian Cycling Federation named me Cycling Coach of the Year for MTB and road.

Personal note
The person behind the programme
“Coaching is my way of giving back to the sport.”
I am a father to a 9-year-old who has recently discovered mountain biking — which I consider one of my greatest coaching achievements. I am also the partner of Latvia's most decorated female cyclist, Dana Rožlapa.
When I am not coaching, you will find me behind a camera, absorbed in music, or rewatching a film I have already seen three times — always with coffee.
Train with greater clarity and purpose
Whether you are preparing for elite competition or want to understand your potential more clearly, coaching begins with a conversation: a free intro call of about 30–45 minutes, with no commitment, in English, Latvian or Russian.
